Zoneminder 1.23.3 with 2 pv-183 cards

jniffen · Post by **jniffen** » Wed Oct 15, 2008 7:55 pm

I've searched the wiki, manual and forums but could not find information helping me with this.

We desire to have two pv-183 8 chip 16 port cards in our system for a total of 32 inputs.

Zoneminder: 1.23.3
Linux Dist: Suse 10.3

Here is a snapshot of command
dmesg |grep bttv
bttv: driver version 0.9.17 loaded

For some reason the system is not seeing the second card.
There are blue screens but no video.
Any input will be appreciated.

I have done this, and it works, however...

1) Make sure you have minimized shared IRQs. You will have 16 bttv chips, so turn off EVERYTHING you don't need. Parallel ports, sound, USB...

2) You will need to manually set the options. This means;

Code: Select all

options bttv card=98,98,98,98,98,98,98,98,98,98,98,98,98,98,98,98

I also did this using a Intel chipset which I have found to be more stable.
